gawain and the green knight - nuns of abruzzo lyrics

Loading...

i was the third+born
i had no prospects
homely little thing
homely little thing
i was sent to the nuns
in abruzzo

they took my clothing
they cut my hair
gave me a new name
gave me a new name
at night i could sit
by the window

“will you take our vow of silence, sister?
will you?”
i think i nodded yes
but i’m afraid, as i sit by the window
i’m afraid

i don’t want my body to be a tomb
don’t wanna be a tomb for
all these words
buried deep inside
if i die tonight
out, out brief light
light a candle
for the ghosts of the things unsaid
listen to the wind slithering
through the cypress trees
it’s thе sighing of the dead
through the cеnturies
listen to the wind slithering
through the cypress trees
it’s the sighing of the dead
through the centuries

i was the third+born
i had no prospects
many years ago
many years ago
i was sent to the nuns
in abruzzo

mea culpa, mea culpa
mea maxima
mea maxima culpa
asked my eternal visitation

“will you break your vow of silence, sister?
will you?”
i nodded yes
but i’m afraid, as i stand in the doorway
i’m afraid
i don’t want my body to be a tomb
don’t wanna be a tomb for
all these words
buried deep inside
if i die tonight
out, out brief light
light a candle
for the ghosts of the things unsaid

light a candle
for the ghosts
for the ghosts

light a candle
for the ghosts of the things unsaid
